I am fairly flexible, and not about to argue with the Roscoe’s suggestion (I didn’t bring it up first, for once). Generally speaking, weekend early afternoons work best for me. ---

I am notoriously bad at getting out of Ventura County on the weekends (or during the week, for that matter) but if there is ever a get together a little closer by, I’ll be happy to come. I haven’t been to a Dopefest in a long time, and certainly never one on the west coast! ---

Glendale is all that far from Ventura, particularly when you compare it to the locations in Orange County. Come on down, and meet with us. ---

I did drive to Glendale from Simi just to get a banker’s lamp, so I guess I can’t argue with you there. Let me see what my schedule looks like; for now I’ll be a tentative yes. ---

> [@Silver Tyger Girl](#): > > You’re in Simi? If you want you can hitch a ride with me. I am indeed. I will definitely bear that in mind (I get lost anytime I try to venture south of the 101), but I just realized that the 3rd is Labor Day weekend, so I wouldn’t be able to make that date. I’ll keep an eye here though, I should be able to make another weekend. ---

I’m tempted to try to do a Venture County Dopefest, as I know there are at least two other people in the area that haven’t come to these. ---

Can’t make it to Frazier Park this weekend, but I can probably still go to a Glendale (or other closer location) Dopefest in September. ---

Whew, glad I saw this before the hounds were released! I’m good for the 11th @Damon’s. When we get to the timing portion of the thread I’d like to suggest an afternoon time.
